All media for foreign consumption has an axe to grind but I still trust Wion over every source in the USA that gets posted to HN that is inline with a narrative. The narrative to invoke Article 5 would have become the death of hundreds of millions of people. If it weren't for a Polish farmer's photograph we'd be dead.
Luckily the media isn’t in charge of invoking Article 5. Taken as a whole, the response from NATO was pretty measured. There’s no reason to believe that absent a Polish farmers photograph that NATO was about to assume the worst and throw down.
It was going to be balls to the wall until that PHOTO. There was a plan and it failed! Look how many people were saying this is it, thats all we need. Where are those stories? Right next to the ones saying SBF is a great man!
This is going to happen again and next time we might not be lucky enough to know the truth before death rains down on us.
Gaslighting. Is that when someone pretends not to understand a key part of a question being asked of them because they know they don't have a good answer? Or is that something else?
